More quotes by Frederick Lenz
Go directly to Nirvana. Don't pass go - or you'll have kids, you'll grow old together, you'll be born into another realm where you'll forget that there was even nirvana.
Frederick Lenz
Interestingly enough, Aurthur C. Clarke once autographed a copy of his book Rendezvous with Rama for me.
Frederick Lenz
In addition to innocence, we have to have knowledge of good and evil.
Frederick Lenz
We cannot say that you are spiritually advanced if you are unkind to those around you.
Frederick Lenz
There is a sense of competition in Zen. You are competing with your thoughts and trying to overcome them.
Frederick Lenz
What a man must do is realize that his continued belief in the inferiority of women is going to produce a type of karma that is going to hold him back, and already has.
Frederick Lenz
Many people spend their life always worrying about whether they have enough to cover expenses. They experience unhappiness.
Frederick Lenz
The spectrum that most people exist in this world is very mundane and very unhappy. Certainly human beings are capable of experiencing great joy and happiness.
Frederick Lenz
Who are these human beings anyway? They walk around, strut, fret, as if they owned the planet, or the goddamned universe. I mean, who do they really think they are?
Frederick Lenz
Love leads us to ourselves - this is the mystery of love.
Frederick Lenz
If, at the office or in different exchanges in daily living, you have to spend time with people who are at lower power levels, then you have to be aware of that and keep your awareness very much within.
Frederick Lenz
The continuity of perception is an individualized being, when that continuity is lost, the being no longer exists as they have been.
Frederick Lenz
You stand on the edge of eternity, with a vista that is so incredible, so powerful, so perfect that it's overwhelming. You are so overwhelmed - you no longer exist.
Frederick Lenz
Life is an endless matrix of existence. And as you experience it in that pure form, that's what we call enlightenment.
Frederick Lenz
Love has its own independent form and formlessness. When someone loves you be gratiful for it. If they stop loving be grateful for that. If they love another, let them love!
Frederick Lenz
Tantric Zen is for someone who is really broad-minded. It is Bodhidharma's Zen, your Zen, my Zen. Which doesn't mean I have a problem with Japanese Zen. Most Japanese Zen is minding your p's and q's.
Frederick Lenz
On the path of love we don't feel we necessarily have control. In the yoga of love we feel it's only God who does everything. We can't breathe one breath without God.
Frederick Lenz
In Zen you are learning how to make new realities, to build things inside your mind.
Frederick Lenz
There are so many to pick from that any list that I give you will be inadequate.
Frederick Lenz
A balanced person will get depressed, discouraged, frustrated and angry sometimes, but doesn't direct it towards anybody else. If they do, they quickly realize they made a mistake.
Frederick Lenz
